We're sure you don't need reminding about the whole Roxanne Pallett/Ryan Thomas drama, but juuust in case, here's the quickest of recaps.

Former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett accused her Celebrity Big Brother housemate and ex-Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas of being a 'woman-beater' after he playfully punched her. After he tried to defend himself, she accused him of being a liar to the other housemates.

THANKFULLY, he overheard the public chanting, 'Get Roxy out!' during Friday night's eviction show, and she quit the house. After being interviewed twice and apologising, the public haven't been convinced, and LOADS of her former co-stars have come out with damning stories about her, and revealing that this isn't the first time she's accused someone of this.

Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell

Perhaps the most memorable CBB romance EVER! Despite entering the house with a boyfriend (Sam Reece), Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis took an instant liking to Jeremy McConnell, with the pair leaving the house as an official couple. They endured one of the most on/off relationships in the showbiz land, before welcoming their son Caben-Albi George into the world in January 2017 (with Jez doing a paternity test on live TV). Things later took a sour turn, with a number of legal proceedings between the pair. They have now split for good, with Stephanie set to return to Hollyoaks in the coming months.

Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz/Casey Bachelor

The 2014 series of CBB brought with it one of the cringiest love-triangles to date, between Blue singer Lee Ryan, Jasmine Waltz and Casey Bachelor. Lee started off by getting to know Casey, before declaring his 'love' for Jasmine. But when the America model was evicted, Lee jumped back into bed with Casey (leaving viewers fuming).CBB bosses then created MASSIVE drama when they put Jasmine back into the house, resulting in a huge argument between the pair. Despite this, Lee and Jasmine started a relationship and even appeared on the front of a magazine, but things didn't last long when Jasmine accused him of 'cheating'.

Rhydian starred alongside Roxanne in a UK touring production of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' in 2013, and a source has revealed to The Sun that he had been "upset" by the ordeal, and was "dreading" working with her again as they were due to perform in a pantomime this Christmas in a production of Cinderella in Chesterfield.

They said, "He told pals he has been a victim of her exaggerated accusations too and was dreading working with her on the pantomime and because he thought it could happen again."

Thankfully for him, Roxanne has stepped down from her role in the show - as well as being 'fired' from her radio role at Minster FM - and they added, "He didn’t initially know she was going to be in it when he signed up. He was scared to be in the panto with her and if she didn’t drop out, he would."

In the last couple of days, Rhydian has tweeted a couple of times about the situation, appearing to suggest that Roxanne had been lying in her interview with Jeremy Vine and that it was a "great day".

He also replied to a tweet from a supportive fan, writing, 'Thanks Damien.This story has not come directly from myself. I didn’t really want to draw attention to it as I feel Roxanne has suffered enough for her actions lately and the things she accused me of are well in the past. Time is a healer. I just hope she gets the help she needs.'
